“Ultimately, journalists are doing the same job as before, but with a specialist tool that makes the task easier”
Cécile Gonfroid, News and Sports Operations Director, RTBF
All individuals working on a new televised broadcast are able to control the collection of media content, edit production books, process and integrate Orad graphics, such as subtitles, manage the rundowns and broadcast content from a single interface.
“The main advantage of the system for journalists”, points out Benoît Ballon- Perrin, News and Sports Operations Director, RTBF“ is that they can access material without having to leave their workstation. They can remain seated at their desk and, using a single tool, Dalet, they have access to news reports, the texts that they are writing, the news broadcast production book and images that they can view, edit and send to the editor. They can use a single programme to access all the materials and tools that they need without ever leaving their desk”.
Post-Production Integration
During the editing phase, the Avid post-production editors can instantly access the selection of hi-res images on the EVS Exchange Media Server. After the content has been through the sound editing phase via the Fairlight audio systems, the final edit is sent to back the EVS Exchange Media Server.
Review and Playout
The publisher can view the edit directly on the server, approve it or send comments to the journalist via the DALET workstations.
Once an item is approved, it is ready to be broadcast. It can be played directly from the media server, which is controlled by the EVS IPDirector application.
“Ultimately, journalists are doing the same job as before, but with a specialist tool that makes the task simpler and easier”, says Benoît Ballon-Perrin. As well as TV broadcasting, the system is also used to broadcast audio content over the radio, to supply images to new media content, such as the internet and mobile phones, and to create content in different formats. It’s genuinely an enterprise-wide project.
